Hi Steve, Great job in pointing this out! If non-diabetic people had to eat like this, they would go crazy. I always wondered why the Diabetic Assn doesn’t realize the obvious – limit carbs and beef up on meats, veggies and fat.

Part of it is because the medical establishment has so viciously attacked Dr. Atkins for promoting this way of eating to lose weight so they now don’t want to lose face. Is it just a coincidence that American obesity began to skyrocket when fat-free/low-fat food items & advice started flooding the marketplace??

I don’t know if you addressed this in your blog (I just signed up to WordPress in order to comment on your entry), but the REASON why HIGH FAT is needed in a low-carb/high protein diet is to prevent protein poisoning.

Otherwise known as “rabbit starvation” – people can die if they tried to survive just on low-fat meat like rabbit during lean times – it’d be better for them just to fast instead, because consuming low-fat meat alone in the absence of supplementary fat and carbs, would speed up their demise by literally poisoning their system. High fat prevents this. That’s why people can survive and thrive on eating fatty meats along (ketosis).
